I PICK THE ... um. 10th!

[note_atem]

[Challenge accepted, as usual. And how could he not? As he's walking down the hallway it's very hard to mistake that flaring trench coat. The height might seem a little off, but hey he's not that obsessed with his rival to notice right away it's Kaiba's job to be obsessed.

And as such he has a spark of hope immediately.]

Kaiba!

[note_atem]

That would be too easy- it may also put you out of a job. [And he doesn't even know you man. That's just ... unfair. He looks away.]

You said they gave you lines? Did they give you any information on the person you're dressed as as well?

[thinkin_arbys]

Just some "cool" things I was supposed to say, pose for some pictures looking angry and apparently slightly arrogant. They give me a new one every day; how am I supposed to recall them all?

[note_atem]

[The tiniest of smirks gets to his lips as 'slightly' seems like too soft a word to follow arrogant. He thinks of something else.]

Do you get to keep the merchandise?

[thinkin_arbys]

[Amused, she holds the coat open a bit, examining it.]

I may press for them to include a few things in my wage. Some of it is interesting.

[note_atem]

If you keep that one and he ever shows up again you will never hear the end of it.

[Once understanding that this is just a job and she isn't at fault, he finds it's slightly okay to joke about the person in question. Because it's Kaiba. And that's always fun.]

[thinkin_arbys]

Why don't you tell me more about him? It might be worth my while to understand what this is supposed to be.

[note_atem]

Kaiba's my rival. [THIS IS SAID FIRST BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OKAY?]

He's the CEO of a big gaming corporation- I think the biggest in the world. [He's never been sure about this.] He's cold and sarcastic and egotistical. He deplores the idea of fate and Gods and friendship. [Yet as Atem says all this he's kind of grinning.]

But when you need him for something, there's no one you could trust more. And he'll fight until his last breath for whatever he's signed himself up to.

[thinkin_arbys]

[Well, good Lord, she wishes she'd known people like that. She was just ON HER OWN.]

An interesting character, indeed. I should hope I'm doing this some sort of justice, despite not being him. THey're expecting too much from me in this job, so...

[note_atem]

[His missing his friends and world and being somewhat lonely might be causing him to ham this up a bit. ...because you do not wish you knew Kaiba Seto. Everybody hates that guy!]

If ... you're really being forced to act like him.. [Okay fine. Here's a few pointers.] Cross your arms. Go 'hn' a lot. Glare at people when they look at you. Act like you're better and smarter than everyone else and that their actions are mundane and not worthy of your time. [See this is why you don't want to know him.]

[thinkin_arbys]

[SHE HATES EVERYBODY! It kind of works.

But now she's crossing her arms and glaring at a passerby just to try it. She's bored...]

[note_atem]

[He grins a tiny bit. You're not Kaiba but this is some sort of terrible fun. Oh if Kaiba ever found out about this...]

That's good.

[thinkin_arbys]

This is... silly. But I knew guys like that, or heard of them. It's amusing in its own right to pretend to be one for a moment.

[OH LOOK! She frightened a small child~]

[note_atem]

[Now you're getting the hang of it!]

Although I'm not sure how scaring the customers will help sales.

[thinkin_arbys]

...I don't care. This is a degrading enough job. Maybe if I'm bad at it, they'll let me leave early.

[note_atem]

Or fire you. Then you'll receive nothing for your embarrassment.
